Default Coil issues... TJ coils on a XJ .. something odd maybe

What do you guys know about coil springs? Here’s my question… The front of the cherocar looks fairly ok but I was looking at the front coils a little closer this weekend.. The bottom maybe 4 coils are collapsed on each other…. Should it be like that?

TJ coils have a lower spring rating then cherokee ones.

I'm running TJ coils and they don't look like that. I did get about an inch or so less lift than what a TJ would.
